    Atheists on free will

    I see no particular reason or evidence to believe free will exists so I default to non-belief. Your other questions seem aimed at those that do believe it exists so…

    Syrian Strike Vote

    Whether or not it was Assad, an overzealous general or the rebels using sarin gas is beside the point. The attack means he's either using them or he's losing control over them, either way it's important that we seize control of or destroy the chemical weapons one way or another. As it turns out...

    Iceland to ban porn on the web because of children

    Think about it this way, you've got parents who know what they're doing, parents who aren't even aware there's a problem and most parents I would think are somewhere in-between. Which is to say they're concerned about it but they not technically minded enough to know what to do about it...

    Iceland to ban porn on the web because of children

    What it definitely is is a big waste of everyone's time. Kids learn how to get around filtering systems in school, if their parents aren’t actively monitoring their internet usage there’s no way to stop them accessing anything they want. If they are, then such a filter is a waste of time...

    Atheism does not exist

    The problem is that atheism itself is extremely broad. An atheist can be said to be anyone who lacks a belief in any sort of God. That includes people who make the positive claim that God does not exist, the people (like me) who say there’s simply not enough evidence to conclude that God does...

    4 creatures creat (or evolute) new creature?

    Of course we don't actually know how many other planets might have complex life on them, such life evolving could just be 'another day in the office' as far as the universe is concerned. Hell, we could even discover that most other life in the universe is far more complex than us. I could just...

    Evolution and the Muslims

    Yeah I can back this too, I've been having a debate with a Muslim from Pakistan for almost a year now, including about the validity of this guys work, which is essentially imported intelligent design.

    Will supreme court uphold gay marriage?

    I hope so. They are pretty conservative but then it's obvious the way the wind is blowing these days. It's just a pity society seems to need that pressure before doing what's right.

    Prostitution Argument (continued from “Iceland to ban porn on the web because of children”)

    Well that’s kind of useless then. It would be better to know how many want to leave illegal prostitution as compared to legal prostitution; I should think it’s obvious that few people want to be in illegal prostitution. You’d need to know why they feel they can’t leave the profession...

    Prostitution Argument (continued from “Iceland to ban porn on the web because of children”)

    But that’s not exactly true is it? They could leave the legal occupation and go join up with the illegal one. Presumably they don’t do that because they see the legal occupation as better. Ok, I’ve stared at that question for about 5 minutes now and I can’t interpret it. Exactly. The law...

    Prostitution Argument (continued from “Iceland to ban porn on the web because of children”)

    If they can’t escape legal prostitution then the removal (or non-existence) of legal prostitution means they’ll be forced into illegal prostitution because they have no other option. It’s a worse situation no matter how you look at it, although you might at least be hiding...

    Prostitution Argument (continued from “Iceland to ban porn on the web because of children”)

    This can only become a problem if it’s allowed to. If legal brothels are being used for child trafficking, drug abuse etc then you have a problem with enforcement of the law, not the concept of the brothels themselves. The problem here is you’re talking about two different things. There’s no...

    Prostitution Argument (continued from “Iceland to ban porn on the web because of children”)

    Could be government run, or it could be privately owned. As long as regulation applies it doesn't matter much. I would think someone with a background in management would be more suitable. Depends on how you set it up. If they're government run then no, unless the government was selling it...

    Prostitution Argument (continued from “Iceland to ban porn on the web because of children”)

    The actual physical building just needs to be located near clients/staff and be reasonably easy to secure, like any business.
